Giants Set Jameis Winston to Start After Dart Injury

The New York Giants are set to start Jameis Winston against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday after quarterback Jaxson Dart underwent surgery for injuries to his left knee and was ruled out for the regular season. Jake Haener, signed from the practice squad on Saturday, is expected to back up Winston as the team assesses its options at quarterback. The Giants are also considering several possible additions, including free agent Jimmy Garoppolo and quarterbacks who could require a trade: Gardner Minshew, J.J. McCarthy, Mac Jones and Justin Fields. Brandon Allen, who spent training camp with New York, is another option, according to reports citing NFL reporters and sources. The team has not announced a signing or trade. Coach John Harbaugh has said the Giants are keeping their options open. Reports indicate that Winston’s performance against Tennessee will help shape how aggressively New York pursues another quarterback. The matchup is upcoming in these reports, so its result and any subsequent personnel decision are not yet known. Dart injured the meniscus and medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the Giants’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
